How much blinder we are today.

How much blinder we are today. Friday May 21st, 2004

As we go through Luke Chapter Five today, we are going to see the Lord do more miracles. And
we are going to see the highly educated religious and political leaders of the day scoff at them.
When you sit down to think about the things Jesus did and how the vast majority not only ignored
them but thought of them as being part of a circus side show, we have to admit they were pretty well
blinded by satan. But I would submit to you that our world today, is even more blinded.

Today we have sonagrams, X-Rays, CAT scans, and all kinds of other equipment that can look
inside the womb of a mother. We can see the baby in the womb clear as day. Yet, over 1.5 million
girls each year, take their babies in to offer them up to satan as a blood sacrifice via the alter of the
high priest of baal, the abortionist.

Today we have media and political enemies of the President, in both parties, who so hate him that
they are willing to give aid, comfort and boast the morale of the enemy by their speech and vote.
Thinking that they can hurt the president they have made the so called abuse of terrorist prisoners
of more importance than the public beheading of a 26 year old US Jewish boy from Pennsylvania.
And this hatred of the President is not limited to Democrats from Massachusetts, for without the
constant help of Republicans in the Senate like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and John McCain,
we would have a much less divided country. We would also be drilling in Anwar and have a solid
energy policy. As would we be showing a much more solid front in this world wide war we are
fighting on terrorism.

I can not even imagine the number of deaths and injuries our men and women in uniform have
suffered, due to the callous and US Hating remarks cast about by the likes of Ted Kennedy, John
Kerry, Joe Biden, and the Peter Jennings of the media.

But, is it really their hatred of the President that causes them to inflict this damage on our Military?
I don't think so, I firmly believe that, as he did 1970 years ago to the religious leaders and politicians
then, satan has so blinded these Bush haters that they, in order to serve their god satan, will do
anything to see President Bush defeated. You see, the President did the two things that satan and
his minions hate more than anything. First the President has declared Christ as King of his life and
second he signed a law that makes it illegal to offer live babies up to satan as blood sacrifices on
the alters of the high priest of baal, the abortionists. These servants of satan are so blinded by their
hate of Christ and His, that they truly believe that it is worse to humiliate a terrorist by having him
run around naked than it is for a gang of terrorists to take a US Jew and cut off his head on camera
with a 12 inch kitchen knife and then parade around in front of the camera dangling the boy's head.

Luke Chapter Five

1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood
by the lake of Gennesaret,2and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3And He entered into one of the ships, which
was Simon's, and prayed(asked)him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And He sat
down, and taught the people out of the ship. Do you notice in verse one that the people came to
hear the word of God. Too many of our churches today have gotten away from preaching God's
word and instead gone to doing sermons based upon last nights football game or tv show.

4Now when He had left(finished)speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and
let down your nets for a draught(catch).5And Simon answering said unto Him, "Master, we
have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at Thy word I will let down the
net."6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net
brake. 7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to
sink.

8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me; for I am a
sinful man, O Lord."9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of
the fishes which they had taken:10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee,
which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men.11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and
followed Him. "They forsook all and followed Jesus". Forsook means gave up, they gave up
everything and followed Jesus. As you get to the commentary at the end of this thought, before you
become to judgmental of one who has professed Christ as King of his life on televison, think about
how much you have forsook.

12And it came to pass, when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing
Jesus fell on his face, and besought(begged) Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make
me clean."13And He put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And
immediately the leprosy departed from him.14And He charged(commanded)him to tell no
man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them. Jesus healed this guy with but a thought. When you go
to the Lord in prayer, do you ever just ask Him to think something? Like, "Lord, if You will but
think it, my wife shall be healed."

15But so much the more went there a fame abroad of Him: and great multitudes came together
to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.16And He withdrew Himself into the
wilderness, and prayed. Yes, Jesus, God in the form of a man, needed rest too. As we approach
Memorial Day, why not find a way for you and your family to do without televison, computer and
telephone and just get a little rest.

17And it came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and
doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.18And, behold, men brought
in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to
lay him before Jesus.

19And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude,
they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst
before Jesus.20And when He saw their faith, He said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven
thee.21And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this which
speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" 22But when Jesus perceived
their thoughts, He answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?23Whether is
easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? As you read verses 17-21,
don't you wonder just who they thought Jesus was if not God? From our study so far this year we
have seen the Lord heal the deaf, restore sight to the blind, give sight to one blind from birth, raise
the dead, heal with a thought, read minds, etc, just who do you figure they thought He was? Do you
see what I mean by blinded by saying that they were blinded by satan?

24But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (Jesus said
unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.25And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to
his own house, glorifying God.26And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things to day." "We have seen a strange things
today" what, they had no word for miracle back then?

27And after these things He went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and he said unto him, Follow Me.28And he left all, rose up, and followed Him. Levi
is Matthew, Levi was a tax collector, he was rich, very, very rich, for back then, the tax collector
kept a percentage of all he collected. Yet, satan was unable to blind Levi. Some think of doctors
as being smart, they think of lawyers as being smart, and they think of politicians and judges as
being smart. But, I would suggest to you, that those of you reading and understanding what is here,
are smarter than any of them. For it is the doctor who kills babies in the womb, it is the lawyers who
twist and destroy our laws for a few dollars and it is the politicians and judges that for a few dollars
protect the doctors and lawyers.

29And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of
publicans and of others that sat down with them.30But their scribes and Pharisees murmured
against His disciples, saying, "Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?"31And
Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are
sick.32I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Hey, there is that word
'Repentance' again.

33And they said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and
likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but Thine eat and drink?"34And He said unto them,
Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?35But
the days will come, when the Bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they
fast in those days.

36,37,38,&39And He spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new

garment(Christianity)upon an old(Judaism under the law); if otherwise, then both the new(Christianity)maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the
old. And no man putteth new wine(Christianity)into old bottles; else the new wine will burst
the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new
bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine(Judaism under the law)straightway desireth new: for he saith, 'The old is better'. (Luke 5:1-39 ACP/KJV)

Yes, the Pharisees, Scribes, Sadducees and politicians of the first century were blind, no way around
it, but not nearly as blinded as the media and the Bush haters in the Congress and body politic are
today.

We who serve Christ need to keep a few things in mind. The President isn't perfect, but he is a self
professed Born Again Christian, he may not always show it, but he has publicly stated it on
television before the whole world. Before you join the Bush haters, have you been as public with
your support of the Lord? And before they hated President Bush, they hated the Lord Himself, for
had they not hated Christ, they would not hate the baby in the womb, and if they didn't hate the baby
in the womb, they would not hate he who signed the law prohibiting the delivery of a baby only to
kill him or her.

Those who cut off the head of Nick Berg serve satan, and those who support the murder of the baby
in the womb, serve satan. We who serve Christ and love the baby in the womb are every bit as much
hated by the leftist satan worshipers as the President is. What the satan worshiping muslims did to
Nick Berg is exactly what they would like to do to you, me, and our families. John Kerry, Ted
Kennedy, Peter Jennings, and the Muslim world, along with the abortion industry have sold their
souls to satan, do not think for a minute that they have any like for you.

When we get to Luke 22:36 we are going to read these words spoken by the Lord God Creator of
the Universe, Christ Jesus: "Then said Jesus unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take
it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
Gentlemen, get a sword, and realize that we have over 25 million muslims right here on this
continent, that on both of our borders are countries that hate us. And that we have serious and
determined enemies in the press and body politic right here in the USA.

The Lord be with and bless you all, may He protect us, forgive us our sins, and hear our prayers.
Amen.

The difference between a true preacher and a false preacher comes down to this. The true preacher
uses God's word to convict of sin, the false preacher twist God's word to justify sin. The Lord our
God, Christ Jesus be with you always, amen.

I would also like to thank the Lord that
Dorothy has a large print Bible, while I am not to happy about the way she got it, I am pleased that
she has it. And now my prayer is that she will read it and the Lord will let the Holy Spirit guide her
to understanding it. Amen.

The Lord be with you all and please keep me in your prayers. I have some very important decision
to make over the next few weeks or months, I need your prayers. Amen.

The Lord our God, Christ Jesus, be with you all and please keep your pastor and me in your prayers.
Amen. My prayer daily is "Lord please bless those tenfold who bless me."

Pray for the daughters of Will, for Will, and his mom. Pray that the Lord will put the girls back under the control of Steve.

Pray for my friend Mac, pray for Rush and Michael Savage. While the Lord does not need the platforms and audiences that Rush and Michael have, they, Rush, Michael and their audiences need the Lord.

Pray for the President, pray for Attorney General John Ashcroft, pray for me, pray for all those who
open their mouths or take pen in hand in an effort to sway public opinion.

The Lord God of the Universe, Messiah Y'shua be with you all, amen.

It is better to be a horse fly in the stables of the Lord Jesus than the CEO of hell.

All Scripture quoted, in both sermons and daily thoughts, except when done by a guest, is from the ACP/authorized 1611 King James Version. The words in red are those quotes of God the Son, the Lord Jesus and the words in purple are those qoutes spoken directly by God the Father and the words in this sickly greenish color are of satan. But all of the Bible is spoken by God and should be viewed as God's handbook for us to run our lives by 2 Timothy 3:16.
